Students must be actively enrolled in courses to borrow items from the library or use the ILL services.
Students must be actively enrolled in courses to borrow items from the library or use the ILL and Document Delivery services. Document delivery service includes scanning of articles or book chapters for delivery as a PDF through the ILLiad system but can also include mailing of requested physical items to student's home address. The library will ship the items to your address at no cost to but the student is responsible for return shipping costs via the United States Postal Service. It is strongly encouraged to obtain a tracking number if you are mailing items back to the library and to ensure there is sufficient insurance should the package be lost or damaged during the shipping process. The notes field of a request should be used to identify student as grad students and include the proper shipping address to ensure efficient and prompt processing.
If you are a grad student who is still working on your thesis but not actively enrolled in courses, please contact the Access Services Department at circdesk@uww.edu or the InterLibrary loan coordinator at libill@uww.edu for instructions on how to gain access to materials to finish your research.
Students who are enrolled in UWW online degree programs are considered Distance Education (DE) students. These students are eligible for the same services as on-campus students, as well as other services such as physical items from the library shipped to their home free of charge. Loan periods are the same for DE students as their on-campus counterparts; see undergraduate or graduate students above for loan periods.
Any questions or concerns about Document Delivery should be submitted to the ILL department at libill@uww.edu.
Faculty and Staff must be actively employed at either of the UW-Whitewater campuses to borrow items from the library or use the ILL services or document delivery. For newly hired faculty, your active status begins the day your contract officially starts. If you have questions about access prior to your official contract date, please contact the Access Services Department at circdesk@uww.edu.
Retired professors granted emeritus status by their department will be granted borrowing privileges once the library is made aware of their status. A letter from the department chair may be sent to the Access Service Department, circdesk@uww.edu, as verification of status. If the emeritus has a valid Hawkcard with Emeriti status on the card, this will serve as proof.
If your account is allowed to expire, it may get withdrawn from the library's system and we will have no record of you as a patron with borrowing privileges. A record will have to be manually entered, this action will require the letter verifying status from department chair and a valid Wisconsin issued ID with current address.
